A particular interest that was behind this project was increased international migration processes, that actualizes and problematizes differences in social and political development in the countries, and therefore, different patterns of behavior, preparedness, and reaction on different challenges and situations in social life, by private individuals and in the work of officials.
The main objectives of the project were first, to create a wide and strong network of professionals in field of youth work, gender equality and advocacy, and second, to deepen and develop knowledge about gender issues and develop capacities of organizations related to gender equality issues.
The target group were youth workers who are already working or have a strong motivation to work on gender equality issues. By establishing this positive example of cooperation, we hoped to promote sustainable cross-sectorial partnerships for organisations working on gender equality issues all around Europe and outside, and to create a deep long-term impact on a personal and organizational level.
